    Terrible

    The best thing I can say about this is that it was marginally better than Fat Guy Goes Nutzoid. But that's like saying I would prefer a kick in the testicles to a punch to the throat. This one is a sex comedy based around the Pentagon. There were literally no laughs whatsoever. Imagine Police Academy without George Gaynes or the man who made the funny noises? How is it possible to write a comedy script and not come up with any funny lines/ideas at all?! It's a disgrace! And you do end up asking yourself how does a screenplay this diabolical make it to the screen? And where the hell is Steve Guttenberg when you need him!? Next!

    A liitle bit more than basic

    You probably would of painted this off as just a T and A adult comedy, which it is, but one with style and laughs, and of course, Dusenberry, such a hot lass, if in reality, I'm pretty sure you would give up your military secrets. She arrives in Washington in search of a job. Her hot friend and roommate, sets her up with a job in military personnel in the, yes.... Whitehouse, only this is not your ordinary Whitehouse where not much filing, folding, typing gets down. Soon Duseberry becomes her own boss, and the strip scene in front of our horny old Russian colonel, is enough to get any hormone racing and blood pumping. I just didn't expect this to be as higher quality, this pic. We have lots of naughty sex, nudity, some horny young oversexed men, a nympho, and a Romeo Dusenberry falls i love with, providing a nice little montage music score. I really like the sharp comedy too. AKA Up The Military isn't a bad T and A pic, but I didn't say good. The movie just has a bad of heart, and of course, not much sense. Sexually melting Dusenberry makes up for all of that, and her friend's not that bad either. The old Colonel's a bit of a laughful asset as well.

    A Flat Out Borefest...

    This movie gets my vote for the "Biggest piece of crap ever portrayed on film" award. I'm not kidding either. This movie had NO laughs at all, and I fell asleep TWICE trying to watch this utter mess of a movie. To make an example , "Basic Training" makes "Billy Elliot" look like "The Shawshank Redemption". Now that's bad.

    "To the three f's. Flirty, foreplay and fffffun!"

    Something you would find on up late night TV, "Up the Military" is amusingly straight-forward, madcap 80s sexploitation comedy produced by none other than Playboy enterprises. The wonderfully attractive Ann Dusenberry plays Melinda -- a headstrong lady who moves to Washington with big ambitions to make some sort of difference. There she moves in with her friend Debbie and her ditsy flatmate Cheryl. Debbie manages to get Melinda a job at her work… the Pentagon. She starts off as an administrative sectary, but her boss Lt. Cranston seems more interested in getting to know her intimately than doing his work. However this isn't just her own boss, as all the military officers seem to have nothing more than sex and women on mind. This makes her uncomfortable, but she comes to the realization that she could use it to her favour to get what she wants and move up the ranks.

    A capable Dusenberry is the film's backbone in a straight-laced performance, which transforms into seductive empowerment. Where she goes on to sensationally manipulate the sexual advancements to her own advantage. As she dominates and teases her way to the top, as she knows what makes these men weak at the knees. She played a very similar role three years earlier in "National Lampoon's Movie Madness", but this one is a lot better. The playful cast features some salty beauties in the shape of Rhonda Shear and Angela Aames who played the raunchy, free and easy characters Debbie and Cheryl. Will Nye is enjoyable as the patriotic, but sex craved Lt. Cranston. Director Andrew Sugarman's basic point and shoot handling keeps it quirky and smutty by upping the sleazy nudity and steamy sex quota with an interesting backdrop to set-up in. The military defence really does become the butt of the jokes. Some instances borderline on embarrassing, especially when the mushy music broke out to accompany the scenes of Melinda actually falling in love with a guy she met on a plane. But even with certain lame moments, it stayed watchable.

    Typical staples and clumsy execution can't knock that it remains a fun digestible low-budget sex comedy.

    How did this happen?

    As a youth, I was constantly trolling the C-Band for any nudity I could find, I knew all the good ones from about 80 till 88, and many of the raunchy comedy's were mainly providing one thing to the viewer, and it wasn't laughs, I remember this movie came on and right off the bat it opens up with a cheesy porno sounding song, and boobs, immediately, but this movie didn't use boobs like most of these movies, this movie and the people who made it, seeing I never heard of one actor or actress in this, couldn't even pull off good nudity, the fact I don't remember one part of this movie I found funny, even as a horny 10 year old, even Fraternity Vacation had stuff I found amusing as a kid, like I don't even know if this was a comedy, I thought it was, but it's like the most mundane, stone faced literally no thought inducing garbage possibly ever, and I have seen some trash, whoever wrote this obviously put zero thought or effort into it, and then on top of that, they screwed the nudity up, how is that possible? IDK but it is, and they did, I'm sure this will never see any type of current format, so if you just gotta see this, hunt down the VHS,but you might as well just sit and count to 1000 or watch air, cause it will be more mentally stimulating.

    • Quotes

      Captain Drysdale: It could be that she's a spy for the CIA, and the Russians have found that out, and they're holding her hostage for ransom, and they want to exchange her for one of the Russian spies that we're holding. We are holding Russian spies, aren't we?

      General Strombs: Yes! But none with big tits.
